Praise from a Student
We received a wonderful email this week from Michael Pendola, a student enrolled in our Master Course in Painting. He says “I have been in the the graphic design business as a creative director for over 30 years… Even so, I have sensed the need for some serious ‘restructuring’ and challenge in my pictures. Attending workshops, and periodic classes have some value but seem to always underscore a certain ‘technique’ reinforced by instructor bias. And have not created much of a path for growth in my work. The FAS painting curriculum is invaluable. The instruction is rock solid without limit to individual expression. Between these hands-on instructional texts and the very experienced eye of my assigned instructor, Hank McLaughlin, I am experiencing some real growth and increased awareness in almost every aspect of making a picture. I am really satisfied with this course!” Michael started his own plein-air painters organization in Michigan, where he lives, and you can check it out here. Thank you, Michael!
